"Hey, it's me, Ricky

"Hey, it's me, Ricky. Yeah, you probably already knew that 'cause of the caller ID. Um,  anyway, I saw you singing with Ashlyn today, and I just wanted to let you know that you sounded amazing. I kinda thought maybe we had, like, a moment or something. I'm not for sure what to think of it really. Just hearing you sing so beautifully kind of shocked me. I just wanted to let you know you are really talented and should sing more often. I could've just told you that in person, I guess I just couldn't wait to tell you that. Um, okay, I'm gonna go now. Bye."

Ricky thought that he had sent the voicemail to Ophelia, but he didn't. Instead he accidentally sent it to Nini. And since EJ now had Nini's phone EJ heard the voicemail and thought that Ricky was talking about Nini and was quick to delete the voicemail. 

At practice the next day of school the dancers, Fallon being included since she's was also a dancer when she wasn't Kelsi, rehearsed the dance part of 'Stick To The Status Quo'. Ophelia now had a habit of always bring her camera with her to rehearsals and had taken a few pictures of them all dancing. She was always amazed by the dancer's skills and wished that she could move like that. Fallon had tried teaching her to dance when they were younger, but Ophelia had twisted her ankle in the process and decided that dancing wasn't for her.

And when Gina did her dance solo she, of course, killed it. "Everybody hold!" Miss Jenn exclaimed at the end of the dance. She went over to where Nini now stood. "Nini, where were you? We've been here for an hour."

Nini walks over to her as she speaks. "I'm so sorry. I-I lost my phone and spent last night living as a hunter-gatherer, which, by the way, did you know there are things that are only on TV at a certain time?"

From where he sat beside Ophelia, Luca looks at the girl beside him with furrowed eyebrows. "Isn't that obvious that shows and movies are on TV at a certain time?"

Ophelia shrugs. "Apparently not."

"Wait, did you say an hour?" Nini asked.

Miss Jenn nods. "Gina sent you and me a text asking if we could come in early so she could talk through a new idea. You didn't get it?"

"No because my phone was missing." Nini responded.

"You've gotta keep better track of your stuff." Miss Jenn told her. 

From where she was standing talking to one of the other dancers named Steph, Fallon didn't fail to notice the guilty look on EJ's face. Seeing that look made her think maybe he stole Nini's phone. Miss Jenn then suggested for Gina to show Nini the new dance for the two of them. 

After taking a couple of pictures of Gina showing Nini the new dance Ophelia turned her attention back to the book she was reading. The book being the second book to the series 'The Hunger Games'. She had watched all the movies, but thought it would be fun to read the books since she heard that the books and movies are different from each other.
